Hi All,

I just bought a used Grizzly G1035 shaper and I was hoping someone could help me with a couple of
minor problems.

The first, and most important, is that the spindle is not perfectly vertical from side to side; that is to say,
while the spindle is an equal distance from the edges of the hole in the table insert from front to back,
it is almost touching the table insert on one side, and very far from it on the other. I have studied the
manual, but have not seen any information on how to adjust the spindle. Can anyone help?

Secondly, the table inserts seem to be VERY tight. It was extremely difficult for me to remove them
from the table. Is this normal? Should I sand the edges lightly or something to make them looser in
the opening?

The only thing I could think of to adjust the spindle was to adjust the gib, but I thought I would check
first. Another problem I seem to be having is that the spindle is very difficult to move up and down,
even with the spindle lock backed off, which also suggests to me that the gib is adjusted wrong,
but I am not sure.

Thanks in advance,

Hmmm....THAT'S the phrasing I wanted...the spindle is not square to the table. The problem is that
the spindle IS square to the table from front to back, but not from side to side. The motor is mounted
separately from the spindle assembly, but yes, it might be possible to loosen the bolts holding the
spindle mount to the frame and shift it sideways. The problem is, since the manual doesn't mention
this problem, I am just checking to make sure there isn't some easier, built-in way to accomplish the
same task in a controlled fashion, rather than try to randomly shift the spindle mounting.

You might ask Grizzly, but you might also check to see if you can adjust the
table top. That might be easier than moving the spindle.

About the time I had mastered getting the toothpaste back in the tube, then
they come up with this striped stuff.

Yes, call Grizz. They are pretty good at getting the right guy on the
phone with the know how.
